The former legendary Indian skipper MS Dhoni still enjoys a huge fan base and a massive love among the fans even after almost three years of his retirement from international cricket. Notably, Dhoni has been in the headlines a lot of times for his off-the-field antics.

Meanwhile, a video of former Indian cricketing legend Dhoni asking for directions in his hometown Ranchi is circulating on social media.

Here’s the video:

After his retirement from international cricket, the 42-year-old continued his stint with the Chennai Super Kings franchise in the Indian Premier League. The Men in Yellow achieved a glorious feat in the 2023 edition of the tournament as they won their fifth title in the history of the tournament.

With the title win in the Indian Premier League, Dhoni also joined the Mumbai Indians’ skipper Rohit Sharma to become the most successful skipper in the history of the tournament. Apart from this, the star wicketkeeper-batter was also suffering from a knee injury during the IPL 2023.

A few days after the conclusion of the season, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan spoke briefly about Dhoni’s knee injury and how the latter coped with it during the tournament. "We never asked him things like 'Do you want to play or do you want to sit out?' If he can't, he would've told us straight away," said Viswanathan to ESPNcricinfo in an interview.

"We knew it was a struggle for him to play, but his commitment to the team, his leadership, and how the team benefits everyone knows. From that perspective, you have to appreciate him. Till the final, he never complained about his knee to anybody. Though everyone knew, and you would've seen him struggling while running, he never complained even once. After the final, he said, 'Okay, I'll have surgery'. He's finished his surgery, he's quite happy, he's recovering,” he added.

After Dhoni asked for directions from a stranger in Ranchi, his devoted fans took to social media to express their love and respect for the legend.
